Helpful Information
Yes, storage heaters can be installed in many older properties, provided the electrical supply, wiring and proposed heater positions are suitable. Older homes may need electrical alterations before installation. Our electricians can assess your property and explain any work required before fitting new heaters.
Storage heaters can release some warmth naturally through their casing, even when the output control is set low. The control generally regulates how quickly stored heat is released rather than switching the heater off completely. If the casing becomes unusually hot or you suspect a fault, arrange an inspection.
Often, yes. If your existing meter and tariff are compatible with the replacement heater’s charging requirements, a meter change may not be necessary. Some installations need electrical or metering alterations. Our electricians can assess the heating connections, while your electricity supplier can confirm any meter changes required.
A storage heater can remain hot for several hours after it has been switched off because its internal core retains heat. The cooling time depends on the model, size and how recently it was charged. Do not attempt to dismantle or move a hot heater. Our electricians can advise on safe preparation before replacement.
Yes, a storage heater may be suitable for a home office if its capacity and controls match your working hours and heating needs.
